καβάλλης

Ancient Greek

Like Latin caballus (“pack-horse”), is an Asiatic loan or Wanderwort. It has been compared with Proto-Slavic *kobýla (“mare”) and Persian (kaval, “second class horse of mixed blood”). Maybe borrowed from Proto-Iranian *kabah, *kabalah, compare Khotanese [script needed] (kabä, “horse”), and possibly cognate with Latin cabō (“gelding”), perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kebʰ- (“worn-out horse, nag”).
